Why is Japan terrible? It is enough to look at these details.

Although you can see a lot of Chinese characters in the streets of Japan, you can't understand what the Japanese are saying at all, and he can't understand what you are saying, so we still have to communicate in English. An China and a Japanese speak English on Japanese soil, just like a chicken and a duck. This is an interesting scene.

Why is the psychological distance between China and Japanese even farther than that of Americans? Because they have left Asia psychologically and entered Europe, and when we are in contact with the Japanese, because of the special history and grievances of the two countries, there are more obstacles in communication than Americans.

What a sigh!

The power behind cleanliness

The biggest feeling of going to Japan is two words: clean! Cleaner than America! Mr. Ma of Duoduo Software has been to almost all the Chinatowns in Europe and America and found that the Chinatowns in Japan are the cleanest.

Japan not only has clean main roads in big cities, but also clean small streets and alleys.

In Japan, you can't see anyone cutting down trees. Their trees must not be cut down. I didn't see any land in Japan. It was all asphalt roads or grasslands.

Your biggest feeling in a big city is that there is no dust in the air. Even their walls and glass are very clean. There are many cars, but there is no tail gas and you can't see any smoky cars.

During our three days in Tokyo, there was basically no traffic jam. I asked the guide why. The tour guide said: In Japan, from Monday to Friday, ordinary people, even bosses, don't drive private cars to work, but take railways and subways to work, because time is absolutely guaranteed. Most of the cars running on the street are commercial vehicles.

Public transportation in Japan is extremely developed. Japan's first Shinkansen was built in 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, and it has been running very well so far. Today, Japan has built a national railway Shinkansen system, which is very efficient. Their railway runs like a bus, which is very well connected with the subway and bus, and it is very convenient to transfer.

Therefore, it is a very bad national policy for a country like China to develop private cars. You see, Hongkong and Singapore restrict private cars, but China has no restrictions on private cars. At the expense of China's long-term development potential for a little immediate GDP.

Is Japan just cleaner? Is the back really that easy to clean? Why can't we do it? Because we have no sense of public morality, we litter. Why do we litter? Because our eyes can tolerate dirty, why can our eyes tolerate dirty, because our soul can tolerate dirty.

Cleanliness represents a habit and a pursuit. At the end of the opening ceremony of the Hiroshima Asian Games, people all over the world found that hundreds of thousands of Japanese people left the stadium without finding a piece of discarded paper! Is Japanese bad?

I'll tell you another story about a friend. He works for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan and sells printing machines to printing plants in Chinese mainland. He once took a domestic boss who was a big printer to visit Japan. The boss has grown bigger and developed rapidly, and he is a little complacent.

During the visit, the Japanese asked the boss to take off his shoes before entering the printing house. When he came out of the printing house, he found that the white socks were still white. The whole printing plant is fully automated, with few workers. This is a far cry from the domestic printing environment. After the boss returned to China, the story was told everywhere, which gave him a great shock.

I'm thinking: why can't we do something as simple as cleaning?

Then I finally understood:

If our kindergarten is not clean, the primary school is definitely not clean, the primary school is not clean, the middle school is not clean, the middle school is not clean, and the university is not clean. The dirty and smelly dormitory is really unforgettable so far, so I understand that it is impossible for us to be clean when we step into society.

The terrible sound of leather shoes in the subway

We stayed at Jingjing Hotel near Tokyo Hall, and there was a big subway interchange station nearby. When I came to this subway station in the morning, I saw an orderly crowd, but basically no one spoke, let alone speak loudly on the mobile phone. You can only hear the terrible sound of shoes.

The principle of Japanese doing things is not to cause trouble to others and not to affect others, which has become something deep in their souls and has been completely internalized.

Our Confucius said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", but it was just lip service. Our five stresses, four beauties and three loves are written on the wall. We are all a group of people who only talk but can't do it, or can't do it well, or discount things, or "talk" specifically to deceive people.

Look how well our political homework is written. It's all just talk, and many of them are not serious.

What's the difference between Japanese education and ours?

Japanese people attach great importance to early childhood education, so many mothers quit their jobs to take full-time care of their children after giving birth. Why? Because they think that it is particularly important for children to be young before the age of three (there is also an old saying in China: age depends on age at the age of three), and it is particularly difficult to correct problems once they grow up.

Moreover, the Japanese believe that making men work harder, with greater intensity and higher income, and letting mothers return to their families and wait until their children are 3 years old before going to work have no impact on social efficiency, but are particularly beneficial to the growth of the next generation.

In addition, one of their principles in raising children is: seven points are full and seven points are warm. They basically don't let children eat too much, and they are not afraid of children wearing too little. In autumn, they are not afraid of children catching cold when they play in the water, so you can hardly see fat people in Japan.

In addition, sick children don't always have intravenous drip like China. They think that children have strong self-healing ability.

Japan's life expectancy is the highest in the world, which also shows that Japanese people have done well in health conditions, medical conditions, ecological environment, eating habits, sports and so on.

In addition, I feel that Japanese schools pay special attention to school uniforms, and their school uniforms are also very beautiful, with many styles and good workmanship. I asked them why they were so concerned about school uniforms. Their answer makes you feel refreshed:

When a person puts on a uniform, he wants to tell it: never forget his identity. Anyone who does bad things in uniform always feels uneasy.

In addition, the Japanese people are surprised that every family has a family bookkeeping book, and it is unthinkable for housewives not to keep bookkeeping.

I remember shopping in the supermarket. One question the cashier must ask is: Do you want to print the bill? Because Japanese housewives often print out the things in the supermarket separately for the convenience of bookkeeping.

For example, stationery belongs to stationery, books belong to books, and vegetables belong to vegetables, so that they can make statistics every month. The concept of family financial management was developed when they were very young.

In addition, another interesting phenomenon in Japan is that women return to their families, but men's wallets are controlled by women. Every month, women give men some pocket money, but men still have some overtime pay for private money.

There is no better patriotism than dedication.

In Japan, it is the Japanese who accept Japanese bows the most. According to statistics, the receptionist at the elevator entrance of a Japanese department store bows 2500 times a day.

As an enterprise manager, I know very well how difficult it is to bow like this every day. What supports them all the year round is their concept of dedication as their first duty.

For example, when I give an order tomorrow, the company's security guards will begin to bow to the customers who will go to work tomorrow. Tomorrow they may be able to achieve 100%, the day after tomorrow they may get a 95% discount, and the day after tomorrow they may get a 90% discount, and finally get away with it.

I have a mantra: there is no better patriotism than dedication.

A teacher who loves your students is patriotic;

An editor who has published a book without proofreading mistakes is patriotic;

A policeman who keeps one side safe and does his job well is patriotic.

The slogan I object to most is: Call the police when you are in trouble. In fact, this is a very irresponsible and impossible statement. This statement has been used by some politicians for propaganda, which has brought countless troubles unrelated to their jobs to the frontline police.

A cleaner who keeps his place clean is patriotic.

It's too easy to be a patriot on the internet without paying the cost and price. I want to ask him: How is your work? This is a magnifying glass to distinguish true patriots.

How far are we from Japan?

Many friends who have never been to Japan ask me: How far is our level of economic development from Japan?

I asked him: How far is the China football team from the top teams in Europe and America?

He said: as far as the technical and tactical level and physical quality of a single player are concerned, it seems that the level is very close, but once the whole team plays, it seems very far away. Because: you have no chance of winning.

I said: You are right. The development level gap between China and developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan is just like the distance between China football team and strong teams in Europe and America. It doesn't feel far, but it is far from reality. Because people have dominated the position, it is easy for you to approach, but it is difficult for you to surpass it.

Our living standard has improved, but our quality of life has not. Our quality of life has improved, but our taste in life has not.

I told an example at that time: many bosses in China can buy Mercedes-Benz cars as their own cars, but don't forget that people who ride Mercedes-Benz and those who build Mercedes-Benz are definitely two completely different nationalities.

You have more than RMB 65.438+000 million to buy a Mercedes-Benz S320, but your investment of RMB 65.438+000 billion may not be able to build a Mercedes-Benz with the same cost performance.

This time, I went to Panasonic Research Institute specially and found some illusions made in China.

Many products are printed with Made in China on the back, but in fact many of them are assembled in China, but the design is not in China, the brand is not in China, the core components are not in China, the manufacturing tools and machine tools are not in China, the market channels are not controlled by China, and many precision manufacturing is not in China, let alone in China.

I visited the logistics center of Dongfang, the largest medium-sized publishing company in Japan, and their distribution error rate was controlled within two ten thousandths, which is equivalent to: You found a typo in a Xinhua dictionary.

The real strength of Japan lies not in what we see in the foreground, but in their backstage and these high-quality talents who can design these backstage!

Mentality determines the future

You know, the population of Japan is 65.438+0.28 billion, that of China is 65.438+0.3 billion, that of China is 65.438+00 times, and that of China is 26 times. In China, 40% of the land can't be used, while in Japan, there is no desert, the coastline is long, the marine economic area is large, and the seafood is extremely rich. So in terms of per capita resources, we are not superior to Japan.

I have a particularly hard time writing this article, because you have to write a lot of things worth learning from the Japanese nation, and you have to talk about many bad habits of our nation, which exist in the depths of any one of us, including myself, and in our subconscious thinking.

I once gave a speech on this topic in my company, which aroused the excitement of the anti-Japanese youth, and then made it in an education publishing house. There seems to be no reaction on their faces (isn't it a long-term enemy to destroy their ambitions? ) I dare not go further and turn to the enterprise major. As a result, the logic of my speech is a bit confusing and the theme is not prominent.

It is very difficult for a person to deny himself and start over, not to mention a nation with a history of 5,000 years, which has always claimed to be greater China. The strong will always be overbearing. In order to surpass them, you have to put up with their bullying, just as Han Xin will be humiliated by his legs.

We must keep an open mind. We used to be teachers in Japan, but today they are our teachers. Therefore, our mentality should be zero, and we must first get rid of the concepts of greater China and smaller Japan, so that we can learn quickly and surpass quickly.

When we talk about the advantages of others and our shortcomings, we don't mean that we feel inferior, but we express our self-confidence and self-improvement.

It does not mean that the glory of ancestors does not exist, and a nation's self-confidence cannot be based on the glory of ancestors.

We don't feel inferior or conceited. We are down-to-earth, open-minded and innovative.

Our state of mind today determines our future.
